At this season coughs, colds and
COMPOSITIONS of various sorts are to
be looked fo-. II the blood can be
drawn away from the parts longest
ed, relief will at once be afforded. A
warm wooden shawl pinned closely
about the neck and chest, covering
the arms, if put on when the first
sound of the cough occurs, will al
most infallibly stop it at once. Sup
plement the shawl with warm
brick or soapstone at the feet, and re-
lief is immediate and often perma-
nent. Twenty five years ago what
Nights we spent in fighting the
GROUP The little sufferer would
throw his arms out from under the
cover, and then the cough frightened.
But enveloped in shawl this was
impossible, and at last we learned
that in cool weather the children
should take their airing always be-
fore sunset, and at the first sugges-
ton of q cough put on shawl. For
twenty years there has been no
Group in the family. This remedy
we have found just as effective with
adults as with children.
Hot foot baths and hot hand baths
are excellent alternatives of the cir
culation. The hand baths act more
Immediately than the foot baths,and
there is less danger frem after ex-
posure. They are, too, more easily
given. Mustard draughts (mlld) APP
piled to the extremities change the
circulation. Flannels wrung from
hot soda water are extremely help
full in NAV cases. Or, if saturated
with soda water, they may be heat
ed by putting them in a steamer, by
placing them on a plate in hot oY-
en-. This saves wringing them,
which is difficult when they are not.
Great relief is sometimes found from
drinking freely water rs hot as can
be comfortably swallowed. 1T draws
the blood to the stomach, opens the
pores and washes out the clogged
sewers of the body. We have OBJ
served that patient suffering from
a cough will have rest from it after
q hearty meal The blood is sum-
moned to the work Of digestion and
the lungs are relieved.
Those who suffer from sleepless-
ness or from not sleeping soundly
will find help from wrapping their
feet warmly in flannel and putting to
them Il warm soapstone. Those who
must get up in the night to see to
children or invalids should have a
pair Of night shoes to slip their feet
into, so that when they lie down
again cold feet shall not proven
their falling at once to sleep. As
warning Of what,not to do we give
the following, which came under our
observation last winter: A little
Irish boy, very i'll with pneumonia
and burning with fever, begged his
mother to put his feet into cold
water, which she did and in few
moments he ceased to breathe. Hap

4 strange Coincidence 1'ha,
United Two Happy Lives.
About fifteen years ago, on board &
dancing barge, when big Tammany
excursion was holding high carnival
Morris Curran drank more firewatel
than was good for him. He got to
fooling with some young girls from
one of the upper wards Of New York
sfI want a nice little wife," said he.
sswhich one of you will have me-"
"a mischievous little miss, whose
father was on board, anchored at the
bar, spoke up that she wanted to take
out her freedom papers, and knew OF
no better way to escape her parents
than to get a husband.
mo time like the present." said
Curran. "Here's man who will
marry u.s." and he called to a man
who was passing. After little more
badinage, the Tammany man bade the
proposing parties take hold of hands.
he went over form and pronounced
them man and wife. Just then the
girls father came up, and there was a
discovery. Curran and little Della
were married, sure enough, for it was
Justice Ledwith from Jefferson Mar
ket who had performed the ceremony.
A scrimmage ensued, in which broken
heads and torn clothes were conspicu-
ous. The father hurried home with
his child, and early next morning
sought the office of Charley Spencer,
. criminal lawyer. A divorce was OBJ
tanned, and ten years ago the girl was
married to another man.
But the passage of time brought
many changes, Della, the bride of the
barge, lost her husband she had mar
ried in 1877, and in 1887. widow
with two little children and a sick
father, found the world by no means
q Tammany picnic. She worked away
with . stout heart, however, and kept
n tidy home for her helpless family at
the top of a new fiat house OH the
east side. One day she got to think
ing how nice it would be if she could
get the care of such a house. A
thousand little janitorial duties the
old father could perform, and she
would hire a stout servant for the
hard work. She woote to the agent
OA bA1C HOuSc, ptdIcu uCI ClICuIlotduCCs
and wishes, and signed her whole
name, Della Coe Driscoll. Next day
portly old fellow, with a Santa
Claus expression of face and figure,
climbed to her sky parlor. The pretty
little widow colored with expectation
as ne told her that he was the owner
Of she building.
"You are a widow, Mrs. Driscol. ?"
he said.
II lost my husband years ago."
"Was he your first husband?"
"Why, ,yes-certainly-that is"
the little widow stopped as the recol-
lection of her child-life trouble Came
across her.
"You may have heard-it was in
the papers at the time and great
sorrow to us all. l was married for
fun, not knowing was being married,
when was only 16, to Mr.. Cur
ran."
'I'm that Mr.. Curran," said the
gentleman, and the widow nearly
tainted.
The courtship was short and now

their honeymoon at the Branch

DUTCH CHEESE.
A Coed Recipe for M akfng q
Delectable Dish.

Few persons save those who are ma
tives of Holland can make good Dutch
cheese. There seems to be an inher-
ted knack about it, but one of the
principal difficulties is to secure an
accurate receipt. A correspondent OF
an exchange who has visited Holland
gives the following description of the
work of making cheese in Holland, as
he saw it, but even if he could not Sc
cure the valuable item of proportions
that he desired. AS the milk is
brought in from the fields it is poured
into pans, and then and there rennet
is added. What proportion Of
rennet was used i was not
able to learn, though 1 am
quite aware that successful
cheese making depends greatly upon
this early stage of the process. |
learned, however, that North Holland
farmers use rennet, and not. as it is
sometimes stated, chemically pre-
pared acids, which produce curd OF
quite different consistence and greatly
spoil the flavor of the cheese. Less
rennet is used than by many cheese
makers at home, if may judge from
the sweetness of the whey that have
tasted. In the evening, when the
new milk comes in, that of the morn
ing is ready for making up. 1t is cut
and slashed to let the whey run off,
the implement used being painted
wooden bowl, such as serves for many
household purposes in Holland.
The first whey is put aside
into tub; then the curd is
further broken and thoroughly
kneaded with the hands, and the salt
added. Next come the round watts.
They are first we'll rinsed in the whey
tub and then into each ispressed curd.
apparently much more than it could
hold. Our cheese-maker took one
herself and gave one to her daughter,
and they began gently and firmly
almost coaxing the whey out
With their hands. Very soon the mass
or curd had taken the shape of the vat

and after good deal OF turning and
squeezing : the cheese was firm enough

Bragg: A Northorner who owned some
Alabama State bonds journeyed down
to Montgomery four or five years ago
to see about the chances of getting u
settlement with the State. Bragg was
recommended to him as lawyer of

attorney might be of incatcuiabie

minute or two, sent astream of tobacco
